A radical solution for environmental pollution

...radicals to degrade the toxins they live on. Such insights could lead to new ways of engineering bacteria to clean up environmental messes, said associate professor of chemistry E. Neil Marsh, who did the work with postdoctoral fellow Chunhua Qiao. Free radicals---highly reactive chemical species that have ...

NYU biologists map out early stages of embryo formation

...ow human embryos develop, and may also provide new insights for cancer research since genes acting in early embryogenesis are often erroneously reactivated in cancer cells. The research is the latest in a series of studies conducted at NYU's Center for Comparative Functional Genomics in collaboration with re...

New discovery blurs distinction between human cells and those of bacteria

...ake up these shells, and the first high-resolution insights into how they function. "Those microcompartments have remained shrouded in mystery, largely because of an absence of a detailed understanding of their architecture, of what the structures look like," said Yeates, who also is a member of the Californ...

North & South American researchers find architectural abnormalities in T. cruzi ribosome

...karyotes and its ribosome as a source of potential insights into the evolution of more complex organisms. "Ribosomes perform the translation of genetic information into protein in all organisms," Frank said. "The principle is always the same in plants, bacteria, and humans. It's a fundamental property of lif...

Stolen gene allows insect virus to enter cells

...l insecticides. Studying baculoviruses also yields insights into general viral behavior. The current study examined how baculoviruses took the evolutionary leap needed to become the nasty bugs they are today. In the study, reported in the July 1 issue of the Journal of Virology, BTI researchers Gary Blissard...

New research puts a fresh spin on current thinking of speech evolution in humans

...and physiology of this region will yield major new insights as to why Broca's area became involved with speech in the human brain. ...

Scientists discover new way to look at how molecules twist and turn on water

...omputer modeling. These studies add important new insights into ongoing studies in the Richmond laboratory that seek to understand how these surfactant head groups change the properties of water at aqueous surfaces. ...

Bacteria in Household Dust May Trigger Asthma Symptoms

...velopment of diseases like asthma will lead to new insights into how to prevent and treat this important disease.?NIEHS is implementing new studies to better understand the role that the indoor environment plays in the development and severity of asthma. NIEHS, a component of the National Institutes of Healt...

DNA size a crucial factor in genetic mutations, study finds

...ational Academy of Sciences (PNAS), may reveal new insights into how genetic mutations-tiny mistakes that occur during DNA replication-arise. The discovery was made in the laboratory of Eric Kool, a professor of chemistry at Stanford and co-author of the PNAS study. DNA, the genetic encoder of life, comes in...

Applying ecological laws to bacteria

...culture and pollution-control. By applying the new insights to the microbial world, researchers may be able to improve the exploitation of vital microbial processes, such as sewage treatment. Dr Christopher van der Gast, from CEH, lead author on the paper, comments: 'This is an important finding as it will a...

Gene that helps mosquitoes fight off malaria parasite identified

...ool of Public Health. "These results provided new insights into how the mosquito defends itself from the malaria parasite. More research is needed, but we plan to apply this knowledge in the development of new approaches to control the disease," said co-author Marcelo Jacobs-Lorena, PhD, a professor in the D...
